staffed, or the project duration was not accurately estimated. After the reasons have been identified, document a process to resolve each within the quality assurance plan. While writing the plan, determine which reasons will likely have the largest impacts on the organization and determine a strategy to prioritize them. 5. Consolidate maintenance and capital renewal planning under the Lucity platform for major assets across Parks. For specific operational needs, continue to support and integrate workforce skills/training between major maintenance functions and operational functions. 6. Update the asset inventory within Lucity to include the integration of the water systems, park assets, park infrastructure, and recurring maintenance plan. As the inventory information develops, refinement of the data will occur. For example, area calculations of the overall park area include the baseball/softball fields as they are generated through GIS. A double counting exists of the square footage /acreage of the fields. These should be subtracted from the overall park area. Additional park assets will require the cleaning of Grounds the data to ensure accurate data. Create a plan to improve the effectiveness of updating asset and equipment records and implement it. Be sure to track the process during implementation to help reach the goal of developing a more effective process. Identify desired service levels for grounds functions across Parks. Determine the level of service expected for each park space type. This will ensure that visitors experience a similar level of service across all City parks and will allow you to further refine your staffing needs. Sustainability 9. Establish a sustainability policy on environmental sustainability that is aligned with the Louisville Sustainability Action Plan. The policy should address sustainable product purchasing, reduction and handling of waste, wise use and protection of land, air, water, and wildlife, and sustainable design/construction of buildings. Include Parks natural resource management plans and other areas of sustainability already implemented. Note: CAPRA strives for a zero -waste plan. 10. Develop an implementation plan based on the Sustainability policy. 11. Review Parks Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy and on -going IPM operations, balancing the labor-intensive work against community expectations. Continue to support and revise Parks IPM program based on industry best practices. 12. Develop water conservation strategies based on CAPRA best management practices, regional successful low impact development strategies, and appropriate planting palettes. Resilience 13. Conduct Parks specific resilience planning that includes security, emergency preparedness and continuity of operations. Once this planning process is in place and plans are developed, there will be tactical operational items to consider such as routinely reviewing these plans, conducting after action reports, and continual improvement in these areas. Specific short-term recommendations that could be implemented prior to the planning process include: City of Louisville Parks Department January 16, 2023 Summary of Findings Page 25
